3 Claims.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a hanger for trousers.

More specifically, the invention proposes the construction of a hanger for trousers characterized by being formed of wire bent into shape and adapted to support trousers without the use of clamps, springs or other means usuall provided in hangers for trousers.

Still further it is proposed toprovide a hanger for trousers made of thin sheet material such as plastic and being adapted to support trousers without the use of clamps, springs, or other means usually provided in hangers for trousers.

Still further it is proposed to provide a hanger as aforesaid, made. either of bent wireorthin sheetmaterial, and being adjustable for different width trousers.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features ofthe invention are more particularly set forth. 7

In the accompanying drawings forming a, material part of this disclosure: V

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a hanger for trousers constructed in accordance with this invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged section on the line 2-2 of Fi 1. s y

Fig. 3 is a view of a portion of the hanger in position for supporting trousers, a portion of one leg of the trousers being indicated in dotted lines.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary front view of a portion of an'adjustable hanger for trousers constructed in accordance with a modification of this invention.

constructed in accordance with a further modification of this invention.

Fig. 6 is an end view of the hanger of Fig. 5.

Fig. 7 is a front view of an adjustable hanger for trousers constructed in accordance with still another modification of this invention. 7 H I Fig. 8 is a fragmentary end view of the hanger of Fig.7.

Fig. 9 is an end view of one of the extendable portions of the hanger of Fig. 7.

The hanger for trousers shown in Figs. 1-3, according to this invention, comprises two spaced trouser-supporting side members l0 and a hook H connected thereto for supporting the hanger from a rod in a closet or other support. The hanger is constructed of round wire bent into shape to form the structure shown in the drawtwo-piece bottom wall IS. The top wall I3 is.

adapted to fit under the cuff l6 of a trouser leg l l with the depressed portion l2 disposed so that ings. As shown, the hanger is formed of two separate pieces of wire, but it may be formed from a single'piece if desired.

Each member l0 includes a central depressed portion l2, a two-part top wall l3 extending from either side of the portion l2, end wall [4 and a the thread link l8 connecting the cuff to the leg of the trousers is in the depressed portion. The hanger is adapted to fit between the legs of the trousers with the top walls l3 disposed each under one of the cuffs at the inside thereof. Thus the hanger provides a simple means for hanging trousers and'has the advantage that it is ready for use without the inclusion of clamps, springs or other devices often found'on well known types of hangers for trousers. As the hanger is free of all, mechanical parts which require actuation, its life ispractically unlimited. Moreover, as the hanger supports the trousers under the cuff, the entire trousers depends from the hanger and therefore cannot become mussed at any portion due to the hanger. I

As aforesaid, the hanger is shown constructed of two pieces of wire, one free end of one'piece being atthe end of the hook I I and ltsother free endterminating in a hook H! which is twisted around the other piece of wire. The other piece of wire has afree end portion 20 twisted around the stem 21 of the hook H and the other free end of this piece ends in a hook"22 which is twisted around the bottom of the stem 2|.

While the wires are preferably bent and fastened as shown in Fig. 1' and as described'above, it will be obvious that the ends of the wires may be secured to any of various parts of the hanger. If desired, the books [9 and 22 may be twisted around both the stem 2| and the adjacent portion:

of the other piece of wire.
